We met some very interesting people at the Maker Faire last month, and someone asked about carrot cake. This has been on my list of things to do for a while. What you see here is my first time making carrot cake, and according to everyone that ate it, I did a great job.

After making this version, and chatting with someone about traditional cake, I decided to go online and scope out what traditional carrot cake is really all about. There are versions with raisins, currants, pineapple, and more. The Papa and I talked about it, and he really loved the original version, but being me, I needed to experiment a little bit. In the end, he enjoyed my original creation when compared to new ideas from the pesky internet.
